Didn't they try to make their own ISP and then left it behind?
They didn't kill it where it was already running though.

They Just stopped expanding then?
No, they are still expanding. It's just happening really slowly. They are actively laying fiber and expanding in several cities in AZ right now.
A quick search will bring up cities they are planning on moving into.
Yes, it was more expensive than anticipated to lay new fiber and then they had to fight entrenched monopolies in control of regulators at every turn.
That's my understanding
